has been verified through any other party. I really think this is irresponsible, it took 20-30 attempts (can't remeber the exact number) to clone Dolly.
SO how many attempts will it take to get a human right? Reminds me of all those failed Ripleys in Aliens 3 (alright a bit dramatic).
Also what scientific knowledge has been gained by these ppl who are based at
These models are constructed with a lot of blood sweat and tears.
Because they are all working on past events, and seem to only desire to do so.
How do you verify a model? How do you know the laws of motion really work? Usually you carry out an experiemtn then compare it to your model, in this case the experiemtn just so happens to be our backyard (universe etc.).
Most of the models (follow the links in some sections) seem to have given incorrect output - so the real question is what they do then... it's a bit easy, really, to take your model and add a couple of new variables in there until they get it right.
It is not so easy to just add more variables, if you do that than it just becomes an excercise in curve fitting. You have to justify your model within a Physical framework. And just as any program you write you test your model to the limits....this is where it gets interesting and adds to the predictive nature of the model you are building.
This is all very well, but then they go on to insist their model is somehow close to reality. I think it's way too complex for a computer to simulate; every atom has a/dev/random
NO you don;t have to model every atom, or every quark and lepton interaction. We manage to descripte planetry motion (Kepler's laws) quite easily without going into the Quantum nature of atomic and sub atomic particles, though the boundry of when quantum starts to act as a macroscopic system is a very active research front presently.
The time periods discussed in forming galaxies very long, we have a very limited dataset and we make the best guesses we can.
I can't remeber who said the quote, I think it was Dirac, but it goes somethin like, "We came along in the middle of a chess game without knowing the rules, we've only seen a handful of moves and we are still trying to figure it out!"
Your reasoning is very sound but a lot of ifs, one the industry is not growing, two employers will pay only as much as they can to get the labour.
I don't know the answer to these questions but:
Is productivity increasing?
Are profits increaseing?
If both these answers are no then how can you justify stagnating or even raising salaries.
Essentially, if all of the H1B visas were revoked, you could have jobs for all of the unemployed tech workers.
I really dought that! Firstly H1B's were created to fill in a gap in expertise. Also the Department of Labour is very serious about how much as an H1B you earn, it has to be above the average for your state in your profession.
No H1b has taken your job, if you can work as well for a salary that is comparable then you'll get the job.
If you want a 100+K job programming get a fscking Phd in financial modelling and work your arse off.
Just as a counterpoint I'd point out that supercomputing is an old man's/woman's game still. I'm still getting into it, even after finishing my "internship", I still have a lot to learn. My supervisor and his colleugues have all these tricks that I am learning. First I really though this was more an artform but there is a lot of science behind their madness (well I thought it was maddness at the time).
I was wondering if anyone who does lots of financial modelling will attest that its older more experienced ppl they want.
Shall I supply my blood type and a DNA sample and a piss test and fingerprints in addition to my social security number and home phone and mother's maiden name?'
He started it while working for McDonald Douglas a few years before I was born.
I'm not nitpicking but when I read McDonald Douglas I had strange visions of scientists modelling airflow around a big mac. Even better imagine a big mac in a wind tunnel...woo hoo!
Slashdot Mirror
Didn't they just recently invent a drone that could serve as President of the United States?
Yes but the speach synthesis chip fails from time to time...also the moral setting somehow got soldered on permanently to the hawk setting
Often lots of times I wonder if the articles on slashdot are in English.

but how did you keep track of them?

Why are explosions in space circular and not spherical?
and just for fun why do space captains always take off their shirts?
the version I heard in grad school was...
what did the theoretical physicist say to the experimentalist?

Wow! Thank you for that post.

Also you need to provide a stool sample
Actually thats pretty easy, you can turn it off at Turn off the Internet
You must have got the watered down version. I heard it was a lot of Greek men entering a horse.
This is the safest place I know. No woman (unfortunately) or man (thankfully) will ever venture there.
So now Checkov doesn't need to go to a nuclear Aircraft carrier. He can just steal your laptop and then get back to the Future.
Whoops I mean it cuts down on their profit. Its because of Linux that Stan won't get any money for Spider Man.
Somehow an organization that wants to make as much money as possible (not profit) using linux doesn't sound too unrealistic.
Now all we need is the movie studios to improve gnutella.

For those who are not familiar this is a Terry Pratchett thing.
And flying across Australia the mass suburbs that sprawl across the outback is terrible!
You are right flying across the US its hard to see any "untouched" land, but try Australia or Africa.
Also I think the 83% refers to affected land not habitated.
Exactly and all thise DIY tinkerers should never forget:
1) Patent
2)???
3) Profit
Wow imagine that beautiful girl with boobies diefying gravity following your eye movements....
This will be the driving force for this technology!
